These results appeared in a newspaper on 04/19/86 but references the card being held “last month” so hopefully it’s a new listing that we can find the actual event date. (date needed) Bronson, FL @ Bronson High School Ricky Santana vs. Jerry Grey Jim Backlund beat Mike Hagar (sub for Tyree Pride) Jesse Barr beat Bob Roop Steve Keirn & Stan Lane beat Kendo Nagasaki & The Ninja (w/Sir Oliver Humperdink) Barry Windham beat Lex Luger by DQ

What newspaper website did you get this from?

I have to answer the same as I will be responding to yourpal on the Georgia thread; I find material in lots of places and save it, but often I don't have perspective on where it was by the time I review it. I have figured out how to find material on Google to some extent, and I use the advantage preservation archives, and in the thread on Researcher Tools I just recently added a breakdown of states with Digital archives. I have become the senior motorist who doesn't look before backing out of the driveway of researchers.

Territory history under Luttrall/Graham ownership. Special thanks to Bobby Vankavelaar for his original research with his Florida Mat Wars series. Added over a thousand new cards to existing research. Additional cards will be added as research is uncovered. Any additions or corrections are welcomed.

I have a PWI magazine from June 86 (I think the one with Randy Savage on the cover), and there's an article with the title "Lex Luger vs Harley Race - Legends at the Crossroads". In the article, it has Race and Luger in a match, that looks like one of the Florida rings. I think the end result was a double countout. I know with the results posted here, Harley was in Florida at least from 1/12/86 - 1/16/86, with the 1/16 match being a tag match with them teaming against the Fabs. Have always been curious as to when that match may have happened. I would think it'd have to be in January 86 around the time Race was in Florida for the week.
